Today, I got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, after a costly fix for my brakes that failed a while back as I was going down a hill, I found a $130 bill in the mail attached to a speed camera photo of me shitting myself. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML

Hah, ouch. Good luck getting out of that one. If there was police involvement when you got rear-ended it shouldn't be hard.

Can I be the one to point out the lack of commen sense the OP has? It's not like the people that sift through the camera's data know you got into an accident. Bring in the report and ticket, the ticket should disappear faster then a man required to make child support payments.

The picture would show this but that doesn't mean he won't get a ticket. They probably don't look at every picture and even if - he either pays hundred bucks or not. Nothing lost, everything won...

all you have to do is explain that you were rearended, its not that hard a concept.

I really wonder how many people get rear-ended every day. A lot of FML's are about this subject!

WTF are you whining about? Take the damn ticket to wherever it is supposed to be paid and take the police report along with you to show what happened! if you are old enough to own a car you should be old enough to use you effin brain!

This is fake. Indiana does not have traffic cameras.

That sucks. If you have the police report from your rear-ending, fight it. If not...you might be screwed. But it's nothing like the $300 ticket my dad had to pay when my brother ran a camera red light in my brother's own car... But the car was co-registered to my dad and my brother and my dad's name came first alphabetically. And even though it was *clearly* my brother in the picture, and my brother did pay the ticket... Still went on my dad's driving record. So see, it could be worse.
